Not if it's available in the developer options, or has more other sorts of friction to check the box. Or if it has a red warning label with the phrase "may increase the chance of hackers stealing your data and impersonating you".

One just has to make it unattractive enough to most.
It's not useless to humanity, there are people who literally can't get bank accounts because of the industry they work in or the country they're born in.
I don't know about watches, jewellery or paintings, but if any one class of personal possession _should_ be subject to this kind of totalitarian control, it's cars.

They literally cause more harm to non-participating bystanders than cigarette smoking, with even less ability to opt out. (For those of you aged under 35 - non-smoking bars, restaurants and public spaces used to be a rarity in Europe).

And why? Because we somehow ended up in a situation where we use the same piece of equipment to drop our kids at school 1km away as we do for ten-hour, 1000km inter-city journeys with two weeks' worth of luggage. They're vastly OP for most of what people use them for, but it feels necessary because everyone else has one - we end up obligated to carry around big, heavy, impact-protected vehicles to protect us from all the other big, heavy impact-protected vehicles.

> Arabs in Palestine are descendants of colonizers and settlers enabled by the colonial powers.

So the creation of a state by western colonial powers and the migration of jews from all over the world there does not make them descendants of colonizers and settlers, because they identify with some people mentioned in a two thousand year old book which says they lived there.

Oh and they didn't even speak the same language, they had to revive it.

Right. Makes sense.
Impossible Objects has refined this idea by using stacks of printed powder onto fiber sheets. They get stacked and sintered into the final object, and the fiber itself acts as reinforcement.

It makes 3D printing at massive scale possible:

I rented a car recently in Germany. Before even connecting my iPhone via Apple CarPlay, the dashboard of the car displayed a 4G sign and had its own navigation system that seemed to be live. You also pay a “cross border” fee if you intend to drive the car outside Germany to other EU countries, and most mobile operators in the EU also include some sort of roaming across the EU. So I guess that could be one explanation.

Edit: there also seems to be an “SOS” button to connect you with an operator of some kind. There is a dedicated button for that (saw it in this car, and a few other I’ve rented).

Edit 2: and this car seemed to know the speed limit. At first I was sure it’s doing some OCR, but then I realized that it gets it via the internet based on my location.
On GrapheneOS (an android AOSP fork) there is a "storage scopes" feature such that one can give permission only to select directories or files. I recommend this if you care a lot about this.
We have decades of experience going back to Vista that this does not work.

Users trust companies like Apple, Google etc not to place them in harm's way.

Something like 99.99% of the energy emitted by the sun every second is wasted forever into space. The faster we can grow the economy and build out machines that can harvest that solar radiation, the less material resources are wasted.
It wasn't that uneconomical because the back end of the fuel cycle is a relatively small part of the cost of nuclear power. So France and, for a time, the UK could continue to operate their white elephants. But other countries that were using their reprocessing services gradually fell away -- the separated plutonium has negative value. Even if the reprocessing were free, it would be cheaper to make fresh fuel from newly enriched uranium than to make MOX fuel with plutonium.

The world has converged on the most economical solution to spent fuel: dry cask storage. This is not an ultimate solution, but it forecloses no ultimate solution, and by delaying any such expensive step it minimizes the net present value of the cost of dealing with the waste. In the meantime, the spent fuel gradually cools off, rendering any future ultimate solution easier.

Reprocessing can be seen as a fossilized remnant of an earlier failed vision of where nuclear power was going to go. The vision was that nuclear power plants would be cheap, lots of them would be built, and then uranium would start to run out. Fuel would start getting expensive, so we'd have to move to breeder reactors. Fast breeders burn plutonium, so you want to start them with Pu separated from the earlier thermal reactors (and then continue to fuel them with Pu they themselves produce.)

But this vision never came to pass. Nuclear power plants turned out to be expensive and uranium remained cheap (and enrichment got cheap). Reprocessing ended up unneeded and unwanted. It really did serve as a cover for proliferation, too: Japan now has enough separated reactor grade Pu for about 1000 bombs. It's not as good as weapons grade but it can still serve for weapons if boosting is used to ameliorate premature initiation of the chain reaction.

There's an inversion of cause and effect here. Nuclear didn't fail because we didn't reprocess, we didn't reprocess because nuclear failed. To invert the actual causation is an example of cargo cult thinking.
The thing I always remember was a former colleague bought a TV from Amazon in about 2008. He got an email a few weeks later from Amazon saying that they'd refunded some of his money, as the TV had gone on sale not long after he'd bought it. That is insanely good customer service.
I fully agree that there should be some lower bound under which all sexual activity is illicit. In fact, 18 seems rather low (because who at 18y old knows what he/she is doing?).

But he is 18 and she is 1 month away from being 18 as well.

I can hardly imagine what the parents problem with this relationship could be. Except maybe it’s a racist thing?
I don't believe I have said it is a black/white matter. However I do believe that on balance it would be better to be a full EU member instead of being a quasi-member without any say at all.

I also believe it would be better to be an EU member and part of the eurozone instead of having the flaky economic governance we have historically had.

Like you said the economic pillars of Iceland have become broader and more numerous than only the fisheries, and for all the talk of currency devaluation being beneficial, in effect it simply serves to allow the government and largest exporters offload all effects of economic downturns onto the Icelandic people and small businesses.

It is theoretically possible for Iceland to govern itself in such a way that it is stronger outside the EU than inside. Simply adhering to the Maastricht conditions would perhaps be enough, it just does not seem likely to me that there will ever be enough discipline to do so without actually joining the eurozone.
> The better terms won out...

I actually don't think they won out. Mindshare maybe, but I use kill and yank on macOS all the time. In fact, since they are enabled by default, I use Emacs keybindings all the time and everywhere on my Mac. Even the password entry screen in macos has Emacs keybindings.

I always thought that Apple saw the superiority in these bindings that they have them included by default.
What would you choose instead, in this day and age?
Hydro turbines are almost always peaker plants, with Niagara as an exception. Geothermal is base load. They don't really compare.
The Reuters report on this is much more detailed: https://www.reuters.com/technology/apple-slams-metas-numerou...

And yes, Meta isn’t denying requesting everything under the sun. Their only retort is Apple’s privacy concerns are anticompetitive excuses. Two things can be true: Apple is only protecting their own interests, and Meta is a terrible would-be guardian of all the data they’re requesting.
Why Meta decided to open source their Llama architecture and complete models?
From a strategic business perspective, I'm trying to puzzle why they would give that up, a competitive advantage (even though it might not be as good as OpenAI product), rather than directly competing with OpenAI. What's the reasoning behind this decision?
Be careful extrapolating the intent of Americans from the majority of voters.
This is the heart of the issue though. Most users don't care unless you purposefully go out of your way to scare them with enough melodrama and dark patterns as to border on outright dishonesty. It's not an issue of them being informed, they just genuinely do not care about the risk when the actor is a familiar megacorp because their viewpoint is that if billions of dollars can't keep the data safe then it was never going to be genuinely safe anyway.

Thanks. Is there some rule of thumb about how much should the article change so that the copyright doesn't apply any more? These points come to my mind:

- There is a whole category of software called "news aggregators". Are they all infringers? How can they operate, apart from praying that the news outlet doesn't care?

- News outlets quote each other, e.g. "According to Reuters", etc. Does that solve the copyright issue? Is it only the 100% verbatim copy that is copyrighted?

Many thanks already for the insights.
Many EU countries have done so and then few years ago many stopped doing it.

I can see kiddies in my logs, but the real ones, they are already here and watching.

Nowadays, presuming anything else is unreasonable, unless you want to scam somebody into buying a 'security product'.
As you've brought China into this, which is the greater scandal?

1) VW Group collects data on its customers.

2) Chinese-made vehicles have potential two-way telemetry and control (we don't know, it's closed-source), and we've just allowed tens of thousands of 1.5-tonne, potentially autonomous vehicles with goodness-knows-what sensor packages, plenty of demonstrated ability to kill, injure, catch fire or block critical infrastructure, and backdoors to a not-exactly-friendly foreign government, unfettered access to our streets.

I'm not saying Chinese EVs are a Trojan horse, but I can hardly think of a more effective way to do it, if they wanted to. Even assuming there's no "actor" component and they do nothing more than passive data-gathering, that's still.. huge.. right?
Regarding von der Leyen I would just like to say that she is widely disliked in Germany and "failed upward" into the EU government. Whatever she is doing, it's her will, not that of most Germans.
state-owned company where the 2 families owning the majority of shares block using the earnings to do any investment. The only thing were the state-stake comes into play is in not crushing unions in Germany (which they don't mind doing in the US) and not letting the whole enterprise fail (which it should ...)
Don't forget that other manufacturers collect the same data, they just didn't have a collection of blunders that allowed access. No malicious intent this time, but it clearly highlights that companies need to learn to put policies in place to make double sure PII is actually protected to the degree the law already requires. We also need laws that force companies to make opting out of this kind of data collection much easier, or to make it opt-in in the first place.
> the LLM has a built in understanding of how the system should work,

Thats not how an LLM works. It doesn't understand your question, nor the answer. It can only give you a statistically significant sequence of words that should follow what you gave it.
>>People should vote to GTFO of the EU

Being in the EU is literally the best thing that has ever happened to my country, and it continues being an incredible benefit to everyone here. The suggestion that we would be better off out of the EU is actually insane.

>>And, no, I'm not seeing things.

Fantastic, that means it should be trivial to provide sources for everything you've said.
Funny enough, ‘Cariad’ translates to ‘hell chariot’ in Romanian—a name that feels oddly fitting given this fiasco.
In western Europe, governments have a vested interest in the good health of their citizens, because a healthy citizen costs less to the healthcare system.

The US government does not care that much about obesity, gun violence and all that jazz because it is not the one paying for the damages it does.

All these factors contribute to the comparatively poorer life expectancy of Americans, which is, I agree, only a surface metric.
I think it's very reasonable to take "Sabotaging any infrastructure harms people. Transitioning to clean energy can be (and is being) sped up by actual peaceful actions." as arguing for the sole usage of peaceful actions. If you feel that's an unfair take, feel free to clarify, but that interpretation seems pretty average.
My problem with this "hydraulic" analogy (first time I've seen it called that) is that I feel most people don't have that good intuition on hydraulics either, so you are just trading one poorly understood subject with another almost as poorly understood one.

Maybe 50 years ago engineering students learning electronics could have had more solid hydraulics background knowledge, but I bet these days more people start from electronics before doing hydraulics.
> Train travel is a flow state/mindset thing.

This is a great point. I also find train travel the least stressful over all other means of travel.
Oh you do agree to it when you start the car for the first time, so it's not any different than cookie consent banners in that sense. It's just meaningless because you can't not agree to it.
Everyone dying from a rogue AI would be stupid and embarrasing: we used resources that would've been better used fighting climate change, but ended up being killed by an hallucinating paperclip maximizer that came from said resources.

Stupid squared: We die because we gave the AI the order of reverting climate change xD.
Though this does not contain the cost in invested time. Try setting up BBB with Docker. It is not easy, unless you have done it before and are somehow an expert. I tried and gave up. Month or years later people still post in issues I opened. Since a docker deployment is also not the official deployment, there is little help from maintainers, understandably. It is also a huge setup, with many running parts.

Very cool though, that they managed to pull it off.
Box64 does the x64 to ARM translation (while keeping performance as high as possible by calling native ARM library code wherever possible). Throw Wine in there to implement the Windows APIs and you can run amd64 PE binaries on aarch64 with decent performance.

You can't run amd64 without something like Box64 because Wine is not an emulator, so it doesn't interpret or rewrite the instructions to aarch64.

You can use Box64 on other ISAs if you implement the necessary translation code. I believe this is what's being done to run games on RISC-V, but I'm not 100% sure. Good ol' qemu-static would also do the job if Box64 isn't compatible (yet), but that's running the entire application in a foreign architecture so the overhead would be a lot more significant.
And Singapore has leveraged that trade by implementing tax policies that make it in huge demand for financial trans-shipment.

A lot of Australia's resources are bought and sold via Singapore precisely for the tax advantages of funneling things through there without the actual resources going through their ports.
It’s sadly never that simple. You quickly run into “and now we have to regulate it further” at every step because contracts have to be exhaustive in order to be clear, risks cannot be fully known in advance, rational people can disagree about what is misleading, etc.
The talk shows segments are pre-planned to have “funny” quips and serve as marketing for the guests.

I was only a teenager, but I assume there had been lots of businesses throughout the course of history that took more than 5 years to be profitable.

The evidence is that investors were buying shares in it valuing it in the billions. Obviously, this is 1999 and approach peak bubble, but investing into a business for multiple years and waiting to earn a profit was not an alien idea.

I especially doubt it was alien to a mega successful celebrity and therefore I would bet Jay Leno is 100% lying about “not understanding” in this quote, and it is purely a setup for Bezos to respond so he can promote his business.

> “Here’s the thing I don’t understand, the company is worth billions and every time I pick up the paper each year it loses more money than it lost the year before,” says the seasoned talk show presenter, with the audience erupting into laughter off screen.
I feel like we're talking about semantics here. You must posses drugs before / while actively using, and heavy addicts use multiple times a day.
>>There are only 40% of the EU citizens that don't want the EU.

40% of EU citizens are not right in their heads then. That number should be a lot smaller.
I would be an interesting addition to clarify what "resources" mean here.

A common rebuttal of the Meadows report that I keep reading is "they predicted we would run out of resources, and we never ran out of anything."

Do they mean metals ? Coal ? Oil ? (As I understand it, we _kinda_ ran out of conventional oil, but were able to replace it with shale oil et al... so it's unclear [1])

Yeah I don’t think we’re in disagreement here. The community can do a lot with the flexibility granted to it!
Imagine how bad software development in car companies must be - it's worse than that in reality. A giant clusterfuck of incompetence, especially from the top.
And of course - often apps ask for permissions they don't need at opprotune time ie "enable development mode to get 100 more gems" or "enable notifications to use this app"
Especially if the person already uses Messenger or WhatsApp for personal conversations etc. Meta already has control over their important data at that point (chat logs and phone calls, probably location history). What more could be on the device other than web browsing and photos. It's the same thing with trusting Microsoft or Google - they already have access to all your data via control of the entire operating system and could in theory do anything with it. So users have to trust them to psychologically be ok with using those devices at all.
I lived in Alberta for a few years.

While Alberta is often called “the Texas of Canada” there is not a single Albert a that would give up their healthcare to join the US. In many meaningful ways their standard of living would plummet overnight - healthcare, education, safety, violent crime, life expectancy, etc.
That is only half of the story.

The other half is what government there is should be doing a lot more to protect the privacy of people on their territory from foreign state and private entities.
This is about every female-only space, not just bathrooms.

Consider prisons, for example. There have been many cases recently of male criminals being transferred to the female prison estate, on the basis of their self-declared so-called "female gender identity", who have then raped and in some cases impregnated women incarcerated with them.

It should be obvious that the same risk is not present from other female prisoners. Even if they happen to look very butch and/or hirsute. So keeping prisons single-sex is clearly a much better policy for incarcerated women.

Even for bathroom spaces, the prospect of laws that penalize males who decide to use female bathrooms is good news. This is because the threat of negative consequences for such behavior makes it much less likely that any such males will even bother trying, which means that women in general will not only be safer, but also can feel safer, because they know that any individuals encountered in these spaces are almost certainly female. Even if, like Buck Angel, they don't conform to feminine stereotypes.
I think it's not the same. Changing focal length changes the perspective warping, right? That's why fisheye lenses look crazy, and telephoto lenses "compress" depth.
This might be a function of the sensor geometry too, though.
In practice this isn’t a very useful attack. You need hours of encrypted and unencrypted data and you can then only decrypt the encrypted transmissions of the targeted node.

The NSA if it knew about it most likely did disclosed the vulnerability, it was just deemed not significant enough to redesign, manufacture and re-issue millions of new radios.

These radios aren’t rated for secret communications anyhow. By the time you manage to decrypt what you want the information would likely be stale since all of the information passed over radios will be tactical in nature at best.

There are still other defenses like spread spectrum transmission and frequency hopping that make intercepts harder. The main threat model against radios isn’t actually message interception but rather basic SigInt that would be able to detect, identify and track transmissions.

On the battlefield that’s the most useful intelligence you’ll get especially during war time.

Any interception beyond that would take days if not weeks to be properly analyzed and disseminated this isn’t something that it done on a regiment or division levels.
The rename from Facebook didn't change the base nature of that company. Their product is selling user data. All their other “products” are just suction pipes for hoovering up that data.
If that is truly a foregone conclusion then we should eradicate the megacorps, not pander to them or negotiate with them.
Iceland is literally on the gap in the tectonic plates between Europe and North America.
That only encourages Putin in Ukraine and maybe other parts of Europe.
2) is ridiculous speculation and fearmongering. Why shouldn't I feel the same about Tesla's or any other car?

I don't care how much media tries to brainwash us that China is my enemy, facts are that there are way more tangible proofs of all us being consistently spied by US-led agencies, we have proof that from dams to electrical grids the US has one button methods to create chaos in most of the world, and yet, people consistently go into these far fetching anti Chinese speculation when the proof is that the spying, meddling boogeyman is in Washington.

This all feels like the usual US exceptionalism, where the only country that is exceptional and allowed to ignore rules is US, and others cannot.
